OAR 411-054-0040 (1-2) Change of Condition and Monitoring (1) CHANGE OF CONDITION. These rules define a resident's change of condition as either short term or significant with the following meanings: (a) Short term change of condition means a change in the resident's health or functioning that is expected to resolve or be reversed with minimal intervention or is an established, predictable, cyclical pattern associated with a previously diagnosed condition. (b) Significant change of condition means a major deviation from the most recent evaluation that may affect multiple areas of functioning or health that is not expected to be short term and imposes significant risk to the resident.(c) If a resident experiences a significant change of condition that is a major deviation in the resident's health or functional abilities, the facility must evaluate the resident, refer to the facility nurse, document the change, and update the service plan as needed. (d) If a resident experiences a short-term change of condition that is expected to resolve or reverse with minimal intervention, the facility must determine and document what action or intervention is needed for the resident. (A) The determined action or intervention must be communicated to staff on each shift. (B) The documentation of staff instructions or interventions must be resident specific and made part of the resident record with weekly progress noted until the condition resolves. (2) MONITORING. The facility must have written policies to ensure a resident monitoring and reporting system is implemented 24-hours a day. The policies must specify staff responsibilities and identify criteria for notifying the administrator, registered nurse, or healthcare provider. The facility must: (a) Monitor each resident consistent with his or her evaluated needs and service plan; (b) Train staff to identify changes in the resident's physical, emotional and mental functioning and document and report on the resident's changes of condition; (c) Have a reporting protocol with access to a designated staff person, 24-hours a day, seven days a week, who can determine if a change in the resident's condition requires further action; and (d) Provide written communication of a resident's change of condition, and any required interventions, for caregivers on each shift. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure weekly progress was noted until a change of condition resolved for 1 of 2 sampled residents (# 2) who experienced changes of condition that required monitoring. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 06/2024 with diagnoses including Parkinson’s disease and dementia. The resident’s 06/15/26 through 09/21/26 clinical record was reviewed, and interviews with staff were conducted. The following was identified: * On 06/19/26 a “Nurse note” was completed following the resident’s return from the hospital due to a fall on 06/15/26. The nurse noted “some scattered bruises” on the left upper arm, elbow, and lower forearm. In addition, the Weekly Pressure Injury Report used by the nurse to document skin conditions also noted bruising to the right forearm and elbow on 06/19/26. On 06/27/26 the nurse documented the bruising “on [his/her] arms has healed” and noted some slight discoloration on the right arm was still present and discontinued “skins for bruising.” No additional skin monitoring by the nurse was completed for the bruising still noted on the right arm. Observation notes on 06/30/26 by MTs documented “some bruising healing on [his/her] right arm; on 07/09/26 documentation indicated “no signs of bruising”; and on 07/22/26 documentation noted “bruise is healing/fading.” There was no documentation of the progress of the skin condition after 07/23/26, when a MT documented “bruise is healing, its [sic] greenish/yellow . . .” * On 06/27/26 the resident was noted to have a “red rash” in the groin area. On 07/11/26 the nurse documented on the Weekly Pressure Injury Report “rash on groin slightly pink, very light,” and discontinued monitoring of the rash. On 07/17/26 an LPN note indicated “Resident groin enflamed, possibly moisture related.” There was no documentation of the progress of the skin condition following the nurse’s note on 07/17/26. * On 09/09/26 the resident was put on alert charting for bruising on his/her right toe and right wrist. There was no documented evidence the bruise to the right wrist was monitored, with progress noted at least weekly until resolution. In an interview on 09/24/26 at 11:35 am, Staff 3 (RN/Health and Wellness Director) acknowledged the right wrist was not monitored and her process for skin monitoring had not been to monitor the bruises until they were completely gone. The need to ensure the facility documented monitoring of changes of condition at least weekly until resolved was reviewed with Staff 1 (General Manager), Staff 3, and Staff 12 (Corporate RN) on 09/24/26 at 2:00 pm. They acknowledged skin monitoring had not been completed and documented weekly until the condition resolved.

1) Action taken - The clinical team has reviewed Resident #2’s record to confirm each cited skin concern, including bruising and rash, is documented as resolved or as a new baseline. Active conditions will receive resident-specific interventions and monitoring until resolved or established as a new baseline. 2) System correction - Memory Care Staff have completed training related to monitoring and documenting resident changes of condition. Reportable conditions will generate incident reports and Temporary Service plans/Observations that will be reviewed by the MCA/RN. Temporary service plans will include instruction for staff on what to monitor and facility designee/RN will document resolution of incident. Staff will ensure that the RN is notified of any changes in residents needs, RN will complete Change in Condition assessments, monitoring and service plans are updated as needed. The facility will review documentation in the clinical meeting (observation notes, skin/shower notes) to identify and respond to all skin changes. The facility will use the clinical whiteboard to track active changes of condition and support clinical follow-through. 3) Evaluation - The GM and MCA or Designee will review incident reports and significant changes of condition within 24-28 hours. Weekly meeting with GM and RN will be used to audit Change of Condition assessments and their completion 4) Ongoing Monitoring Responsibility - The GM, MCA and RN are responsible to see that the corrections are completed/monitored.

OAR 411-054-0055 (1)(e) Systems: Tracking Control Substances (e) The facility must have a system approved by a pharmacist consultant or registered nurse for tracking controlled substances and for disposal of all unused, outdated or discontinued medications administered by the facility. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to have a system in place to accurately track controlled substances administered by the facility for 1 of 1 sampled resident (# 4) whose MAR and controlled substance disposition logs were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 4 moved into the facility in 10/2025 with a diagnosis of scoliosis. Resident 4's controlled substance disposition log and 09/01/26 to 09/22/26 MAR were reviewed. The following was identified: * Resident 4 had signed physician orders for Morphine sulfate 20 mg/ml solution, 0.25 ml every four hours scheduled and 0.25 ml every 60 minutes for pain or breathing challenges as needed. * On 09/23/26 at 10:30 am, a comparison of the morphine bottles to the disposition log showed the amount of medication left in one of the bottles was not reflected accurately on the log. Staff 13 (MT) indicated there were two bottles of morphine staff used to administer the PRN and scheduled morphine and it was noted on the disposition log if the medication was given as a PRN or scheduled. The amount in one of the two bottles observed did not match the amount on the corresponding disposition log. Staff 13 acknowledged the bottle showed “about 27.75 ml” and the disposition log indicated 28.75 ml remaining. On 09/23/26 at 12:48 pm, Staff 3 (RN/Health and Wellness Director) confirmed the bottle amount did not match the disposition log and stated she would investigate. She acknowledged the discrepancy should have been identified at shift change. Inconsistencies between Resident 4’s morphine sulfate medication bottle and Controlled Substance Disposition logs and the need to ensure the facility had an effective system for tracking controlled substances was discussed with Staff 1 (General Manager), Staff 3, and Staff 12 (Corporate RN) on 09/24/26 at 2:00 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

1.Action Taken - The Health & Wellness Director has reviewed the controlled substance records for Resident #4 and verified that the current inventory record accurately reflects the controlled substances on hand. The morphine count discrepancy identified during the survey has been investigated and reconciled. Medication technicians and licensed nurses are re-educated on accurate controlled substance documentation, two-person inventory counts at shift change, recount procedures and immediate reporting of discrepancies. 2.System correction - Staff have been retrained to follow company policy relation Medication Services – specifically related to control of Narcotics. If there is a discrepancy in the initial count, the same team will do an immediate recount of the medication(s) in question. If the recount number is inconsistent with the original count, the same team will do another recount of the medication(s) to verify which count was correct. If the count is determined to be off, or if recount results are inconsistent, a supervisor from the H&W team and/or General Manager will be notified immediately and a new two (2) person team will count the medication(s) in question and Incident report will be completed to document the findings. 3. Evaluation - The Health & Wellness Director will routinely review controlled substance records, and the RN and GM will participate in audit of narcotics Reconciliations log at least twice per month per company policy. 3. Ongoing Monitoring Responsibility - The Health & Wellness Director will be responsible for implementing and monitoring the corrective actions. The General Manager will be ultimately responsible for ensuring the corrections are completed and ongoing compliance is maintained.

OAR 411-054-0037 (1a)(2) Acuity Based Staffing Tool - Elements (1) DEVELOP AND MAINTAIN ACUITY-BASED STAFFING. Facilities must select and implement a Department-approved Acuity-Based Staffing Tool (ABST) for determining appropriate staffing levels. Individual resident needs and care elements must be the primary consideration when developing and maintaining an ABST. Regardless of the ABST adopted, all requirements set forth in this rule and OAR 411-054-0034 (Resident Move-in Evaluation) must be met. Facilities shall: (a) Select and implement the Department’s developed ABST or submit a proprietary ABST to the Department for approval as outlined in paragraph (2) of this rule. (2) PROPRIETARY ABST. A facility that chooses to use a proprietary ABST must implement a Department-approved ABST that meets this rule. (a) REQUIRED ELEMENTS. The proprietary ABST the facility adopts must meet the following requirements: (A) Facilities can group or combine ABST care elements in their ABST reports, however each resident’s ABST evaluation must individually address and document all ABST care elements outlined in paragraph (3) of this rule. (B) When calculating total time, the ABST must include the care elements for each resident and staff time needed to complete each individual care element. (C) Ensure the ABST can produce a report that identifies all residents currently residing in the facility, the care elements for each of the residents, and the staff time required to complete the care elements for each resident. (D) ABST total time must present in minutes per shift, per day. If the proprietary ABST does not have this functionality, at a minimum the ABST total time must present in daily minutes. If a Proprietary ABST presents total time in daily minutes the facility’s ABST policy must describe how staffing per shift is determined. (E) Identify the date the resident’s ABST evaluation was last completed. (F) If applicable, determine ABST time for both residents on a Specific Needs Contract and residents not on a Specific Needs Contract to build posted staffing plans as outlined in this rule. (b) PROPRIETARY ABST REVIEW REQUEST. If a facility proposes to use a proprietary ABST, the facility must submit the Proprietary ABST ODHS Review Request form (se528132), including but not limited to the following: (A) Facilities who want to implement or switch to a proprietary ABST must submit Proprietary ABST ODHS Review Request form (se528132) prior to implementation. (B) Sample ABST report displaying the ABST care elements, and the staff time needed to complete the displayed care elements, with a total time in minutes shown per shift, per day. If the proprietary ABST only provides total time in daily minutes, the facility’s ABST policy must describe how staffing per shift is determined. (C) The facility’s ABST policy required under OAR 411-054- 0025(7)(i). (c) ABST SUMMARY STATEMENT. If the proprietary review request is approved, a facility must develop and maintain an ABST Summary Statement that meets the requirements, as outlined in the Proprietary ABST ODHS Review Request form (se528132). This includes providing a general guide explaining how the ABST functions. The summary statement must be available upon request by the Department. (d) DEPARTMENT REVIEW OF PROPOSED PROPRIETARY ABST REQUEST. The Department will review and either approve or deny the facility’s proprietary ABST. The Department may request additional documentation, potentially including a virtual demonstration, to make the determination. If the ABST is deemed to not meet this rule, the Department may deny or rescind approval at any time. The Department shall provide the facility with a written explanation of the reasons for the denial or decision to rescind approval. If a facility appeals a decision to rescind, the facility may continue to use the facility’s existing proprietary ABST until a final order has been issued. (e) APPEALS PROCESS. The Department will determine whether to approve or deny the request. If the proprietary ABST is denied or rescinded, the facility is entitled to a contested case hearing pursuant to ORS chapter 183. Prior to a contested case hearing, the facility may request an informal conference. (f) ANNUAL STATEMENT. Once approved, the facility must provide the Department an annual statement attesting no substantive changes have occurred to the design of the facility’s proprietary ABST that impacts its functionality. The facility must submit statements to the Department every year, between January 1 and March 31. (g) If the facility makes substantive changes to the proprietary ABST design, and if those changes impact ABST functionality making the prior submitted information inaccurate or invalid, then the facility must re-submit to the Department the Proprietary ABST ODHS Review Request Form (se528132) as described in this rule for review prior to implementing the new or revised ABST.

1) Action Taken The Health & Wellness Director and General Manager reviewed the community's Acuity Based Staffing Tool (ABST) in accordance with Leisure Care Policy. The review identified that five required care elements were not populating from the EHR into the ABST. The vendor corrected the system issue, and the community verified that all required ABST care elements that were missing (• Call lights, Non-drug pain interventions, Treatments , Cueing/redirection and Non-drug behavioral interventions) were accurately represented within the ABST. Resident ABST evaluations were reviewed and updated as necessary to ensure scheduled and unscheduled care needs were accurately reflected and the staffing plan aligned with ABST results. 2) System Correction In accordance with Leisure Care Policy, the Health & Wellness Director will verify that all required ABST care elements are accurately populating following any EHR update, system modification, or software enhancement. ABST evaluations will be completed upon admission, with significant changes in condition, with service plan updates, and at least quarterly. Resident scheduled and unscheduled care needs will be included in the ABST and the staffing plan will be reconciled to ABST results to ensure staffing levels meet resident needs. Documentation of ABST validations, staffing plan reviews, and corrective actions will be maintained. 3) Monitoring / Evaluation The Health & Wellness Director will review ABST reports weekly to verify required care elements continue to populate correctly and resident care needs are accurately reflected. Any discrepancies will be corrected immediately. During weekly meetings, the General Manager and Health & Wellness Director will review ABST validation findings, staffing plan reconciliation, and supporting documentation to ensure ongoing compliance with ABST requirements. Documentation of monitoring activities will be maintained for survey review. 4) Ongoing Compliance Responsibility The General Manager and Health & Wellness Director are responsible for ensuring ongoing compliance with Leisure Care, maintaining accurate ABST evaluations, verifying staffing plans align with ABST results, and ensuring required documentation is completed and retained.

Z155 1) What actions will be taken to correct the rule violation? The Business Office Manager and hiring manager/supervisor will review the employee training records identified during the survey and verify completion of all required pre-service orientation and training requirements. The community will review and revise the employee training tracking system to ensure all required pre-service orientation and training requirements identified during the survey are included. The Business Office Manager and hiring manager/supervisor will review the revised tracking process and required pre-service training elements to ensure onboarding requirements are completed and documented. 2) How will the system be corrected so this violation will not happen again? The Business Office Manager will maintain the employee training tracking system and monitor completion of all required pre-service orientation and training requirements. Hiring managers/supervisors will be responsible for ensuring newly hired employees complete required training prior to independently performing job duties. The employee training tracking system will be used during onboarding to verify completion of all required pre-service training elements and supporting documentation. The Business Office Manager and hiring manager/supervisor will review onboarding requirements for each newly hired employee to ensure all required pre-service training elements have been completed and documented before the employee independently performs job duties. 3) How will the area needing correction be evaluated? The Business Office Manager will review employee onboarding records and the employee training tracking system to verify completion and documentation of required pre-service training requirements. Upon verification that required pre-service training has been completed, the Business Office Manager will communicate with the hiring manager/supervisor that the employee may independently perform job duties. The General Manager will periodically review onboarding and training records to verify compliance with pre-service training requirements. Compliance will also be evaluated through the annual Risk Management audit process, which includes review of employee training records and onboarding documentation. 4) Who will be responsible to see that the corrections are completed/monitored?
